Traditional superior oblique weakening procedures may be unpredictable and lead to superior oblique underaction. The use of 240 retinal band as a spacer to lengthen the superior oblique tendon has been proposed as a more controlled approach than superior oblique tenotomy and related procedures. The use of this technique is reported in a patient with diplopia following an orbital floor blow out ...

We report a relatively rare case of an essentially isolated orbital roof "blow-in" fracture in a pediatric patient. A 13-year-old male presented with headache and nausea following blunt facial trauma sustained during a skate boarding accident. CT head revealed soft tissue swelling and an abnormal bony density in the superior, posterior right orbital region. Follow-up CT orbits revealed a commin...

Water-filled, drop impact tests on full-scale, blow-molding polyester bottles showed that impact properties change significantly after 30 days of aging at 50°C. To q u a n e this deleterious effect of aging, we did small-scale laboratory experiments using the essential work of fracture method (EWFM). We measured the essential work of fracture of thin specimens cut from the sides of blow-molded ...
